Welcome back to the fold, boys... Sometimes I get to head out onto the open road and photograph some really cool stuff & this show was no exception.

The Velvet Teen technically hasn't released a full-length album since 2006 but I'm going to tell you now that "All is Illusory" was all worth the wait! I headed out of my sleepy little town, over the Grapevine, and into one of my favorite jungles to hear some of their new (and old) material out at The Satellite.

I think my favorite tracks off their new album has to be "The Veil Between". There's something about that beautifully haunting piano melody, which seems to hit me deep, on the cellular level. I highly recommend you check them out.

The Velvet Teen will be touring Japan soon. Go get your passport and plane tickets ready ...
